The IBNYC–a New York alliance of over 60 independent booksellers–has declared November 15 through 21 Independent Bookstore Week. The celebration begins early, on November 11, with a party at the PowerHouse Area featuring authors including Jennifer Egan and Kurt Andersen, as “individual stores will sponsor special events and promotions of their own throughout the week.” It concludes on what they call America Unchained Day. They will have a calendar of events at the group’s web site (though it currently lists only three events that week).
